9icetoo:

You need to go back to driving school

He is very correct.

You should probably replace him at the driving school.

2 wrongly initiated its overtaking at a bend,obviously,for it to have gained a parallel position with the vehicle 4.

3's case is too glaring,overtaking over a solid line,whether it saw the other ''overtaker'' coming or not.Perhaps got confused with the two guys at the back(or is it mere picture?) at the back of vehicle 1.

If the two guys facing us at the back are real,then vehicle 1 too should share in the fault.

Based on Nigeria system of driving 3 is wrong, you are not supposed to overtake when the road line is Solid.

The only wrong vehicle there is number 4. Overtaking when close to an incoming vehicle. Except it's a one way road.

With the Look of things, Seems The Vehicles are Right Hand drives so, i am certain that both Vehicle 1 and 4 got the Issue but i can focus More on Vehicle #4 because the Position of the Vehicle tells he deliberately Rushed to Overtake while the other Overtaking vehicle #1 is Stable on its Track.

if 1 and 4 are overtaking, all of them are wrong.
2 and 3 on the wrong lane, 1 and 4 overtaking from the wrong side(impatient).
You don't have right to say any of the vehicle is wrong because you don't even know the vehicles that are overtaking.
Only one vehicle is wrong and that is 3.
1 and 4 and the vehicles on their normal lane while 2 and 3 are overtaking. Looking at the line on the middle of the road, you will notice that the line beside 3 is not broken, this means a vehicle should just keep to it's lane and not overtake even if the road seems clear but on the other side, the line besides 2 is broken, this means a vehicle driver can overtake at that point is the road is clear enough to overtake. Mind you there is no accident yet so our major focus is on the rule of overtaking while driving

Re: Wrong Overtaking: Who Is At Fault? by geesilver(m): 10:55pm On May 04, 2020
in life overtaking is allowed so no one is at fault here
Re: Wrong Overtaking: Who Is At Fault? by KingRabota: 10:56pm On May 04, 2020
Maybe I don't know how to drive.
Maybe I drive better than you.
Before jumping to conclusions and finger pointing look closely at the the way vehicles 1 and 4 are swerved .
I rest my case

2 is even worse.
It is wrong to overtake in blind spot areas.
Sharp curves and spots with bends.

Pls sir, 2 has the right to overtake cos he's seeing clearly. moreover, the white line shows that he can overtake cos it's a broken line.... The culprit here is numbe 3, it left the no overtaking white line drawn. Am not surprised cos I see many drivers doing this same mistakes cos of ignorant.

You hit it right, 1&4 is obviously coming behind to overtake

You need to go to driving school too.

ajl:


That comment this individual made was in response to someone who said only vehicle 3 was wrong. So, he gave a right comment that vehicle 2 was even worse because the person he responded to already said vehicle 2 was wrong. You make sense of that.
You need to go back to driving to make sense of that. They will teach you better than I would. Trust me

You need to go back to driving and take comprehension lessons too.
Nigeria needs help I swear.
Re: Wrong Overtaking: Who Is At Fault? by abimic(m): 12:19am On May 05, 2020
Well as a sensible driver, i check to see the road is clear before over taking, see far and wide, and i do that sharply . Ordinarily, white lines indicate it should be a one way traffic while yellow is a two way traffic, so this setting is wrong. This is a two way traffic and should have yellow lines, and when lines are not broken, maintain your lane and direction, don't change lanes. so for Nigeria, 1 and 4 are in their lanes, 2 is doing safe, while 3 is so wrong, but one person stupidity can make all of them accident casualties.
Re: Wrong Overtaking: Who Is At Fault? by CJ310(m): 12:34am On May 05, 2020
3 is the only one wrong for attempting to overtake on an unbroken line.
Re: Wrong Overtaking: Who Is At Fault? by KingRabota: 12:55am On May 05, 2020
My conclusions are based on the direction of swerve
And that is why I ask if if it's a LHD or RHD.
Because as an accident investigator.
That is the kind of evidence that you will look at before confirming guilt or otherwise.

By the way look at the quality if that highway and the road markings. I'm still trying to imagine which road in Nigeria quality like so

Re: Wrong Overtaking: Who Is At Fault? by Cammo: 12:55am On May 05, 2020
While I may say 3 might just be one of those careless Dangote truck drivers 2 is completely stupid.
3 still has a chance to slide behind 1 but why is 2 trying to overtake under this dangerous situation?
Re: Wrong Overtaking: Who Is At Fault? by Sibetolo: 1:13am On May 05, 2020
1 the driver initiate to over take on a solid line which is wrong.
